UPDATE: Wow, thanks for all the entries in the dead Lenin caption contest, guys! The winning caption is a combination of what Taylor, Jenniffer, the Suttons, & Anne S. wrote. Oh, and my friend Abby came up with "slice of the iron fist."

This will be the first comment (I hope)! Anyway, the caption to best fit the girl: "The arm! ACK! Don't cut the shoulder, man! The arm is going to fall off!"Yes, it's a sucky caption, but I've never been much of a comedian.

Who thought it would be a good idea to *order* the Dead Person Cake ... what bakery thought it would be a good idea to *make* a Dead Person Cake ... and who the heck would line up with a plate and a fork and *eat* a Dead Person Cake???

Yes i agree - the glowsticks are pretty inspired. Although if that cake were for me instead of 3 Mile Island, the message I'd come away with is: "We didn't have room for all the candles - so we improvised."

The first one could have been awesome...too bad they couldn't do a decent shell design or mix up a proper x-files shade of green. Of course, that, too, is a misconception. Radiation glow is actually blue, so I'm told, but if you have been irradiated enough to see it, you are like five minutes from dead. Therefore the icing and glow sticks should actually have been blue, just to give 'em a little chill! mwahahahahaha.

The last thing I want to eat is a... aaaaa .... mrflhmph *claps hand over mouth* er, filet of dude. There's so much wrong with that Lenin cake. You do the math. lol

Okay, I'm opposed to viewings of dead bodies to begin with. Some even take pictures of them and place them in their albums, uggghhh! (Yes I know people still do this practice - I just don't understand it. Wouldn't it be better to remember the persons life rather than to keep a reminder of their death?)

But making a cake to replicate a dead body???? Why in heavens name would ANYONE want to do that?

Oh. My. Goodness. The glowsticks on that cake are way cool!!! Not the cake itself mind you, the cake itself is atrocious but the glowsticks on it *look* really cool! Maybe it's the old club kid in me. : )As for the rest of the cakes, wow, they are highly disturbing. Especially the cancer rat and Lenin! I think that little girl is saying "Oh, I hope it's red velvet cake!" or "Can I have some of the moustache? It's the best part!"

It would have been really great if that Lenin cake was red velvet!! Like the armadillo cake in Steel Magnolias...aahh good movie!The little girl is saying: "Hey! That's not the Barbie cake I wanted for my party!"

"COMMUNISM TASTES GOOD!""In Soviet Russia... cake""I have toiled in the fields for the greater good of the commune, now we feast on the spoils!""Don't chop the Stalin daddy!" (anyone seen those ads for the lollies?)

Well, you finally did it! (Inspired me to comment I mean).That Lenin cake has got to be the most tasteless (pun intended) idea yet. It creeped me out beyond description. Of course, the rat was bad, too...but eating a perfect repro of a corpse is just the worst!I hope the little girl isn't asking for the moustache!gulp...Donna

This is the closest thing to an autopsy being performed on cake that I have ever seen...or ever hope to see again. Although it does bring to mind the funeral cake debate that erupted when Micheal Jackson died...this is far more disturbing than any of those cakes could possibly have been.

"Is it just me, or is it extremely odd that the server looks 20 years younger than the cake counterpart we are about to indulge in...*shudder*...maybe I'm not so hungry any more. No offense, food server, but I wouldn't want to eat you...dead or alive!"

Thanks for cheering me up, its raining,life is C*** and then Lenin Cake!! I really did LOL.the little girl is sayingI want head!when we had bunny mould blancmange my kids used to argue over the bum and the head

What's a Wreck?

What's a Wreck?

A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.

Where's the book?

We don’t have any copies of Cake Wrecks for sale here, autographed or otherwise. We decided the shipping and handling costs would be too high to make it worth your while. So instead, buy your copies locally or online and then order personalized bookplates: it’s cheaper, easier, and I think even looks a bit nicer.
